StarCraft 2 gets Zerg-alicious with new video

Blizzard has unveiled the final race for StarCraft 2: the Zerg have returned, …

Few RTS factions have had the privilege of becoming synonymous with a specific war strategy, but StarCraft's Zerg certainly has that sort of legacy. Blizzard recently showcased the inaugural trailer for the fan-favorite race's imminent return in StarCraft 2, and a video of the unveiling is now available on the web.

The video shows just why the word "Zerg" has been associated with a massive rush of overwhelming proportions. Hundreds of the creatures storm various enemy structures and vehicles in different landscapes during the video, with some exploding in a sea of green and some clawing their way to victory. An FMV intro reintroduces the race, as a monotone female voice declares, "We have evolved."

The Zerg mark the third and final race for in the game, so expect more concrete details about the units available to each of them in the coming months. StarCraft 2 is looking better and better with each feature that's unveiled. We'll be keeping our eyes open for whatever tantalizing scraps we can find.
